You're Not Who I Thought You Were: Jai Brooks fanfic

Chapter 4

I woke up at like 5:00 a.m which is very early for me. I only got 3 hours of sleep last night because I was thinking about everything.

Instead of going back to sleep, which I knew I wouldn't be able to,  I decided to take my morning shower. I thought the hot, steamy water would help relax my thoughts but I was wrong. I stepped out of the shower about 15 minutes later and wrapped my body in a towel. I sat on the toilet seat and, once again, thought about everything.

The weirdest thing out of all of this is that I've never done this much thinking about something or someone before.

I sat there until I was completely dry and when I finally came back to reality I got dressed and did my hair and make-up. When I was done I looked at the time and it was 6:30. I didn't know what to do now. Olivia was probably still asleep. James was probably still asleep. Jai..well who knows what he could be up to. I didn't have anyone to talk to and I didn't want to wake them.

My stomach growled and that was my signal to eat. I crept down the stairs carefully amd quietly making sure I didn't wake my grandma. I decided on some plain old cereal. I didn't feel like making pancakes or eggs or any other breakfast choice.

Once I finished I headed back up to my room and brushed my teeth. After that, I simply watched t.v until it was 7:45, then I went and picked up Olivia. Surprisingly she was waiting outside on her porch.

Olivia on time...that's weird.

She looked up from her phone and smiled as I pulled next to the curb. She walked into the car slamming the car door as she came in.

"Hey calm down there. This isn't a cheap car you know." I said.

"Sorry!" Olivia responded showing a teethy smile.

"What are you so happy about?"

"Nothing."

"Okay then. If you say so."

"I'm just kidding! Oh my gosh dude guess what!" Olivia squealed.

"Oh my gosh what?!" I said imitating her voice.

"Not cool..but uhh ilikeluke."

"I'm sorry I didn't catch that last part."

Olivia let out a big sigh.

"I said...I.. like... Luke."

My jaw dropped.

"Did I hear you correctly?"

"I uh..I think so."

"You actually likes someone!? I can't believe this. You've never liked anyone before."

Olivia blushed and looked down.

"Yeah I know right its crazy. Luke seems different than other guys. The other ones are all jerks and players."

That was true. Almost every guy in our school was a player. Olivia dated this one guy last year, then during the summer she found out he was cheating on her with 3 other girls. She was devastated and fell into deep depression. She swore that she would never like or date anyone ever again. Of course, that's kinda impossible but I'm glad she likes Luke. Maybe she will go back to her old self again.

"Well I'm glad you like him. It'll give you a chance to actually be yourself again. I've mised the old you."

"Yeah I'm glad too. Now I can finally forget about that asshole."

"You could have forgotten about him along time ago, but noo you had to remember."

"Yeah, yeah don't start. I don't want you to have another talk with me." Olivia rolled her eyes.
